Schoolgirl-Inspired Photoshoot

12:14 PM

Blegh, been feeling the worst of this whole sickness these last couple of days. Migraines, fevers, chills, coughing... Maybe I'm sick with more than 1 thing since I'm actually on antibiotics now! I don't know but I've been incredibly fatigued which I think always happens to me when I start taking antibiotics. Does that ever happen to anyone else?

I was trying to "sweat out" the fever this morning, which I think did help me feel better. I hate the feeling of sweating but it did seem to break the fever. Hubby didn't grow up with that method, so I wonder if it's just an Asian thing. :P

Anyway, thought I would quickly post some photos up from that photoshoot I was talking about when I did the camera comparison post.

The photog was the same guy who took my Vintage Planes shoot so he called me up to just do something random and fun. I put together this outfit on a whim. It reminds me of school uniforms with a dark twist and I think it contrasted nicely with the beautiful fall leaves.

Yaaaay for getting on some antibiotics! :) Fatigue can absolutely be a side effect but hopefully it will pass after you're done with the course of treatment. Get better soon and make sure you're getting plenty of rest too!

You look so gorgeous in here, Jen! (but then you do on a regular basis too. ;D)

& honestly, you look so tall in pictures, and I definitely adore the contrast of the colors between the leaves and your clothes and hair. ^___^

I've been wondering about your twitter pic and it turns out it's from this! So cute! Thanks for sharing it with us!

& sweating out a fever, I don't think I necessarily DID it, but I definitely heard of it...maybe it really is an Asian thing...I guess it makes sense, using sweat to get rid of the heat within your body.

& your fever...definitely have to rest much, drink lots of water, and lower it! I hope those antibiotics are doing their job so you'll recover in no time!

I LOVE THE FIRST PIC BEST! You totally look like a rockstar in it can I have your autograph please :D

As usual, get plenty of rest! I'll remember you in my prayers :) And the sweat it out thing, yeah its icky but darn if i dont feel gooooood later. sometimes asian methods still work better than western ones. no idea how but it works and that is all that matters :D

Wow this is definitely a different look for you!!! I love it <3 The photoshoot is awesome!!! I feel so amazed at how you put the make up and the outfit together, just like a naughty schoolgirl ;) and you are so good at posing, too ^^ Good job ^^

You look great, nice Fall colors, I really like your hair and boots and I like third pic the most but I think it'd be better if you went for a more innocent look. Stockings are kind of slutty, the image of a school girl doesn't come to my mind when I see these pics. You don't need that to look sexy cause you already are. And IMO skirt same color as jacket would be nicer. Anyway all the best.

Love the outfit, especially the blazer, been looking for something similar ever since I saw the first post of you wearing it, but still cannot find anything similar! So I think I will just buy a navy blue one and then add the white trimmings myself *gulp* not good at textiles at all >_<

Hope you feel better soon Jen!! *hug* I think the sweating out thing is an Asian thing. I think Americans actually use the opposite like ice beds or something to cool to lower high fevers. It's so weird. An Asian person would freak out and say that would make them more sick!! When I have a fever I am stuck btwn both methods, which I believe just makes me more sick lol. You are absolutely gorgeous Jen! Love your pics!

LOL! I think it's funny that so many of you guys are flipping out about the stockings. Yes, it's sexy/trashy/edgy and that's the point! Schoolgirl gone wrong. It's not like I'd wear that on a normal day, it's like a costume. >.<

Hi Jen~ You look amazing~!! Loving the photo shoot <3 Oh, and I've been reading that you are still sick =( I was sick too; coughing and stuff. Gahh dont you just HATE being sick?? So much suffering >< I've not recovered 100% yet because I can still feel a cough or two coming but i guess i feel a lot better than before. I really hope you get better soon though.
